The Christian is the video is so stereotypical of what you would think one would look like. We have all seen them. The suits, only listen to contemporary Christian music, bumper stickers on the cars, and tracks in their pockets. Basically this stereotype gives Christians bad names.
The Christ follower is more like the generation now. They wear the blue jeans to church and are more laid back. The listen to Christian music except it is typically Christian rock or metal.
Basically, the Christian is just like the Christ follower except they are dressed to impress. I think Christian or Christ followers need to have a combination of both. You can be too laid back or too strict.
I have like 1 jesus fish on my car, and do wear few christian shirts it’s my way of “confessing christ as lord and savior before men” I thought about this verse much, and decided w/myself it was good for me to have a jesus fish on my car — I not sure that if I didn’t have a jesus fish on my car and cross on my neck or christian clothes or something that says hi world I believe jesus is christ, that that would be me almost denying jesus and I really no want to do that none.
Matthew 10:32-34
32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
